Methods: Numerical rating Scale 2002, Nutrition risk in the critically ill score and adductor pollicis thickness measurement are used to determine malnutrition in 287 septic patients. Results: The mean age was 66,57 +/- 16,31 years. The mean APACHE II score was 16,19 +/- 8,20 while the mean SOFA score was 5,89 +/- 3,49. To NRS 2002 test 171 was accepted as high malnutrition risk while 116 patients was accepted as low malnutrition risk. According to Nutric test, the risk of malnutrition was found to be low in 144 patients and found to be high in 143 patients. The mean APTM was detected as 20,20 +/- 2,21 mm. The cuff-off point for APTM was found as <= 21 mm. Conclusions: high risk of malnutrition was frequently observed in patients with sepsis and mortality was higher in high risk patients. Higher sensitivity was achieved when the tests were combined with each other. As a result, we recommend the use of malnutrition screening tests in patients with sepsis and combining the tests with each other.en10.3306/MEDICINABALEAR.36.01.17info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMalnutritionSepsisMass ScreeningAdductor Pollicis MuscleCritically-Ill PatientsNutritional RiskNutric ScoreMulticenterValidationThicknessBenefitArticle3611721N/AWOS:000663104600004
